The Holiday tradition: 2016 Draft thoughts.....

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

I don't pretend to know better than any of these NHL scouts, and I certainly give the Wings staff the benefit of the doubt. I thought the point of this thread was to play armchair GM? I'm not saying any of my picks will turn out to be better, but of course I wanted the Wings to select the players I picked...

Any of these kids could turn out to be steals, and of course I hope they do.

The only people ripping Holland right now are trolls

He got rid of #13's contract

Drafted 2 18 yr old Offensive Defensemen who are getting better & will get stronger

Drafted a Gritty Tyler Bertuzzi type

And oh yeah we likely became the favorite for Stamkos

What else do you guys want lol

You missed the memo. LGW posters know better then Holland, that's why they are running NHL teams from there living rooms.

Read the thread. Lots of complaints because he didn't pick who the "experts" wanted. Same as last year.

We all have our preferences , just like if we would of chosen 1st overall and we took laine and you liked Matthews ... Everyone's got their own personal favs , doesn't make us professionals

And just because the scouts are "professionals" doesn't mean each pick they make are correct ... Scouting as pretty much a guessing game for the most part

Alfons Malmstrom?...

Ya never heard of him , let's hope he's good and can be somewhat offensive

I get that but when I start reading "why draft a tiny defensemen" "what a waste of the pick we got from Arizona" "all 3 draft picks suck"

Meanwhile I'm pretty sure Holland has a clue, more than any of us. Scouts is also not a guessing game, they actually watch the players play, do you watch these kids play and know how to evaluate talent ? Don't think so.
